Aesop Rock's new album "The Impossible Kid" is a shot-by-shot recreation of "The Shining."

Aesop Rock has been a favorite artist of lyrically inclined hip hop heads for the better part of twenty years. Today, he released his seventh studio album The Impossible Kid, his first since 2012's Skelethon.

The Impossible Kid finds Aesop at somewhat of a mid-life crisis. He is 39 years old, and he's returned to drawing, which he studied as an undergraduate. Of the connection between verbal and visual, he told Noisey, "I love lyrics that are dripping with imagery and tangible references. I try to write detailed stuff that makes a listener want to stick around, similar to how the right painting might make someone stare at it for a long time."

Remarkably, the album comes with a 48-minute shot-for-shot recreation of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" directed by Rob Shaw. Watch it below and head here to buy the The Impossible Kid.
